Bio
Recruited from Kensington, Teddy Long was a diminutive forward who made the most of his limited opportunities at North Melbourne during the tumultuous World War II era. Standing just 168cm, he was a classic small option near goal, debuting in 1942 and managing to hit the scoreboard regularly in his first season. Like many contemporaries, his VFL career was significantly interrupted by the war years, resulting in a three-season hiatus between 1943 and 1945. Long returned to Arden Street for a brief two-game stint in 1946 before concluding his time at the top level with 10 games and seven goals to his name.
